Editor Lake Charles Echo:
AsGeneFal Nichols and some of his sup
porters arg to speak In your city next Saturday,
Oct. lst, 1t VIII be a good opportunity Tor
giving some better reason (if there Is any)
than any hsrst0fone given, Why be sbeuld Be
dominated IS q candidate for Governor BY
the Democratic party. He has made radi-
cal departure from custom BY canFassing the.
State for the nomination Therefore, In justice
TO the Democratic voters iron whom be is
seeking the nomination, be sh9uld give them
some better reasons than sny heretofore adj
FsDeed, why be should receive The nomina-'
ton TO theeXclusiOn OF all others
-Four years ago his name was heTalded
through the State as q capdtdate for nonina-
ton, and ct the same time MeEpeFyis Ras-
cal ] Ring le9rrgpt State administration etc.
was shouted by z class Of haBgry ofice7seek-
ers Of snlail ealibre, who expected to hide
INTO oslee on the snpPossd popularity Of
General Nichols. But The Democratic voters
refused 10 dance to such music.
/ The same CRY, with few variations and
| special pleas, constitute the Nichols cam
| paigp thunder N the canvass now being
made by him and his supporters.
One plea, or charge, e that the Offices,
| State and parish, are filled by rascaIs, de-
faultsrs and ringstsgs, who must bg Kicked
out, and honest men put IN honest reform
srsl. The poor ours must have a chance to
Il grow fat at the people, CRIB.
An0tlef plaa r., that She Democratic party
OF the State n corrupt and must be reformed.
OF course to General Nichols and rs foil oF-
ers must be delegated the noble work Of re-
Iformatl9H, Nlieh II accomplished wi II in1re
TO the hepetit 81 the lean ours.
II fJne Other Plea, more silly aud absurd than
either Of The above, II It we're possible foI
anything 70 pc more SHY, e, that General
hiehoila Is p INCLINED nfe1erate soldier, foT
! which reason be should pc elected To Tic

Offices, State and parish, without better rea
sops than any 90 tar given. II has net beer
